My employer has decided to give the Telerik Reporting tools a try. I am only able to use VS2008 @my employer. I just installed the latest version and noticed that VS2008 is not listed. What is the latest version that works with VS2008.

while trying to open craystal report , getting error as attached, with extra details and this error coming because Crystal Reports XI R2 doesnt support on 64 bit machine. due to this error trying to convert craystal report to telerik report

followed all steps mentioned at http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/reporting/details/converting-reports-from-various-versions-of-crystalreports and http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/faq-available-converters.html

But after this all steps again got same error as attached screenshot. seems like to convert Crystal Reports XI R2 to telerik need 32 bit machine, Is there any way to convert Crystal to telerik reports on 64 bit machine ?

Hi,
Following an test upgrade to .Net 4.5.1 I have had a problem with reporting.  Webpages that used to work now don't workl properly.

I have reduced the page down to a small sample.  The problem is that when a filter button is pressed the ajax call is done with the reportviewer flashing a loading panel then it shows the "The source of the report definition has not been specified." message.  Looking at the codebehind the report is generated OK and is in fact applied to the report viewer.  As mentioned this all works fine with .Net 3.5.

To further test I disable Ajax on the AjaxManager and then following the post back the control works as it should so this is definitly an Ajax issue of some sort.  I am posting the code below.

It is worth noting that I have tried this on two distinct website solutions that I have and exactly the same issue appears.  

Many thanks for any help.

Regards

Hiya.  I am new to Telerik, using Telerik 2011 Q3 in Visual Studios 2010 on a latop running Windows 7.  Currently I am trying to create a Telerik report using Oracle data and am confused by what is happening with the query. 

The query is fairly large, but executes properly in TOAD.  When I move it to Visual Studios I get mixed results:

1.  When I try to execute the query in Query Builder, I get an "SQL Syntax Errors Encountered" message that says
"Error in SELECT clause: expression near 'SELECT'.
Missing FROM clause.
Error in SELECT clause: expression near ','.
Error in SELECT clause: expression near 'FROM'.
Unable to parse query text."

2. If I bypass Query Builder and continue to the Preview Data Source Results and click Execute Query, the query completes consistantly in approx 2 min.

3. When I go to the Telerik Report Preview mode, enter the variables and click PREVIEW, the hour glass spins but the query never completes.  I have waited 15 min by the clock and not gotten any results (remember the query completes in 2 min in the Preview Data Source Results pane.

I don't know Visual Studios well enough to understand the significance of it working in the  Preview Data Source Results but failing in both the Query Builder and the Report Preview.  It seems strange to me that the Query Builder reports multiple syntax errors, yet the query completes successfully in Preview Data Source Results. I've never seen an SQL query with syntax errors work before, so I am sceptical about the Query Builder error message.  The report does have nested SELECTstatements, which I  assume has something to do with the messages about problems near SELECT and FROM. At the same time, it isn't completing in PREVIEW mode in the report, so something is obviously wrong.

Can someone please shed some light on what is happening?

Thanks!
Kevin

Hello 

I have been evaluating the Telerik-Reports and so far I find them very good. However, when it comes to hierarchical data, I just can't get the reports to work at all. I made up a simplified example, that would be very typical for our company. Should we be able to generate reports using such a hierarchy as datasource, I could convince my boss to purchase Telerik-Reports ;)

I have been trying with subreports as well as groups and tables. However, I can not get it to display any of the sub-classes if they contain either a dictionary or a list. I think the problem is, that it won't recognize the DataSource correctly.

Background for the problem:
I have a list with people (drivers) and I would want to display a report where you can see on what days the people worked and how much work they have done. 

I use the free trial version (Q1_2012_v6_0_12_302) and .NET 4.0 and I am certain that my list contains valid test data. Note, that I have a dictionary as well as lists inside the Classes.

List<DriverDto> drivers;    // this would be the DataSource

// the corresponding data structure
public class DayDto
{
    public DateTime Day { get; set; }
    public int CalendarWeek { get; set; }
    public int Work { get; set; }
    public int Break { get; set; }
}

public class YearDto
{
    public List<DayDto> Days { get; set; }
    public string Year { get; set; }

    public YearDto()
    {
        Days = new List<DayDto>();
    }
}

public class DriverDto
{
    public string Surname { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public Dictionary<int, YearDto> Years { get; set; }

    public DriverDto()
    {
        Years = new Dictionary<int, YearDto>();
    }
}

Desired outcome:
The report should look something like this.

Any hint about how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

I just installed version 6.2.13.110 of the Report Designer.  According to the documentation, when adding a SQL Data Source, there should be a "Query Builder" button on the "Configure Data Source Command" screen.  This does not appear to be the case - see attached file.

Any idea why it is missing?

I am really excited to read that it made the cut in this release! Nice going!
Is there somewhere I can read about how to configure/enable it?

I'm working on a proof of concept project where I have implemented a IReportResolver that returns a reportResolver. What I'm curious about, is how I would go about returning custom error messages to display in the HTML5 report viewer. I have logic to catch when I want to display the error, and I'm throwing a new Exception. However it appears that regardless of what I set the exception message to the displayed error in the viewer is always 

{"message":"","exceptionMessage":"Report '0e12f0b0-5adf-11e4-894e-d4ae52a43518' cannot be resolved.","exceptionType":"Telerik.Reporting.Services.Engine.InvalidReportException" ...}.

I would like to be able to return a different exception message such as Telerik.Reporting.Services.Engine.Unauthorized or something to that effect with the message being something that I can change. Are there any ways to do this?

Hi, I'm using Telerik Reporting,
and in one of my reports, I need
to write a paragraph of text
and have it justified. Is there a way
to do this ?

What about list of items, with bullets or numbering ?
How can I add that to my report?

Thanks.

Hi there,

I have a TextBox in the details section for some disclaimer text content, as you may know, I want to have the text flushed to left and right, but somehow I cannot make it in the Report Designer. Does anyone has had the same situation? or I am just going the wrong way?

Any help is appreciated!
